October theme

Hi All,

Sorry for the October theme being late! It is: "Ghostly encounters". So, if you have any Hallowe'en-themed illustrations, please send them to me!

We also had a sketchcrawl in early October, and the images from that will be posted soon!

My Dog Ate My Homework (And Other Excuses)

Hi All,

It's September and time to our monthly illustration challenge again!
Since kids are going back to school, we have a school-themed challenge: "My dog ate my homework (and other excuses)."

Children can come up with the craziest reasons for not doing homework... sometimes they can be real, but sometimes they involve more imagination than reality. The challenge is to depict one of these excuses. Be as inventive as a kid would, and let your imagination fly away!

Just email me the jpeg by the end of September, and I'll post it up with  your name and a link to your website/blog/twitter/facebook page.

Cheers,

Shantala Robinson

Maplewood Farms Sketchcrawl

Hi all,

On Sunday July 24th, some members of our group met at Maplewood farms in North Vancouver for sketchcrawl. We had a blast going around and drawing the animals and people at the farm. Check out some of our drawings!
